A California Pioneer. 39 



A CALIFORNIA PIONEER. 

By Zoeth S. Eldredge. 

it was two hundred and twenty-six years after Cabrillo, 
the navigator, sailed up the coast of Alta California that 
the first expedition for the settlement of the country was 
organized. It was sent in four divisions, two by sea and 
two by land, all under command of Don Gaspar de Por- 
tola, captain of dragoons and governor of the Californias. 
With the second land division, which marched from 
Velicata, in Lower California, May 15, 1769, under the 
personal command of the governor, was a young sergeant 
named Jose Francisco de Ortega, a gallant soldier who 
had already seen many years' service on the frontier. 
During the march from Velicata to San Diego Bay, Ortega 
commanded the rear guard and the escort of the go'vernor. 
The four divisions met at San Diego, and, on the 14th of 
July, Portola began his march from San Diego to Monterey. 
On this march Ortega distinguished himself by his 
tireless activity. He was in command of the advance 
guard, and it was his duty to explore the wajr, and he 
thus traversed the route several times. The expedition 
reached the mouth of the Salinas River, September 30, 
1769, but not recognizing the Bay of Monterey from the 
descriptions of the navigators, the explorers passed on. 
Their provisions were running short, and already the 
men were on half rations. Scurvy broke out among 
them, and eleven men had to be carried on litters, while 
the sick-list included both Portola and Rivera, his second 
m command. On the 31st of October the command 
halted m the San Pedro valley, near the beach, on the 
San Francisco peninsula, while Ortega, with a few sol- 
diers, pushed on ahead until his further progress was 
stopped by the waters of the Golden Gate. Thus he was

the first oue to see the Golden Gate, and perhaps the 
first one to see the Bay of San Francisco. He returned 
with the expedition to San Diego, thence to Loreto, 
where for several years the governor had abundant use 
for his energy. In 1773 he was made a lieutenant and 
assigned to the command of San Diego. On May 5, 
1775, he wrote to the comandante of California, Don 
Fernando Rivera y Moncada, giving him the latest news 
from Mexico, received by mail-carrier April 26th. The 
following extract from this letter may be of interest to 
Calif ornians: — 

*' Lieutenant-Colonel Juan Bautista de Anza has al- 
ready begun preparations for his new expedition for the 
port of San Francisco. They got ready for him in Mex- 
ico twenty-five thousand or thirty thousand dollars, in 
reales, for the expenses. A presidio has to be made 
in the port of San Francisco, and he takes to it a com- 
pany of thirty soldiers with families. It is said that they 
will shortly establish four missions, — one on the other 
side of the Colorado [River], another on this side, and 
the same in San Francisco, where I do not know how 
they will get along without launches.* 

" These things have made much noise, and we need the 
hand of God for their success." f 

While Ortega was in command at San Diego, there oc- 
curred the first serious trouble with the Indians of Cali- 
fornia. On the night of November 4-5, 1775, without 
warning, a body of eight hundred or one thousand In- 
dians attacked the mission, burned the church and other 
buildings, and killed one of the priests, a carpenter, and 
a blacksmith. The mission guard finally beat them off, 

* The two San Francisco missions were not established on opposite sides of the 
bay, as Ortega expected. One was at San Francisco, near the northern end of the 
peninsula, and the other at Santa Clara, at the southern end of the bay. The two 
Colorado missions were not established until 1781, and then they were both on 
the California side of the river.

but not until all the soldiers were badly wounded. 
Ortega was absent at the time, having gone with about 
one half of his force to establish the mission of San Juan 
Capistrano. Being notified by messenger of the disaster, 
he at once returned and took active measures to suppress 
the revolt. 

In 1781, Ortega founded the presidio of Santa Barbara, 
where he served as comandante until 1784. In 1782, he 
founded the mission of San Buenaventura. From 1784 
to 1787, he served on the frontier in various excursions 
and explorations, and in September, 1787, was assigned 
to the command at Monterey. Here he served until 
1791, when he was transferred to Loreto, where he suc- 
ceeded Arillaga as comandante, and in 1795 was retired 
as brevet captain and attached to the Santa Barbara pre- 
sidio. He died February 3, 1798, and was buried at the 
Santa Barbara mission. 

Ortega's hoja de servicios (service record) may be seen 
in Provincial State Papers, Benicia, Military, xv. 539, 
Spanish Archives of California. It was made in 1791, in 
the presidio of Loreto, and is certified by Captain Ari- 
llaga, comandante, who afterwards became governor of 
California. It is as follows: —

" Presidial Companies Where He has Served. 

"In the company of the royal presidio of Loreto, as 
soldier, corporal, and sergeant, 17 years, 10 months, and 
13 days; as lieutenant and comandante of the companies 
of San Diego and Santa Barbara, 10 years and 4 months; 
as commander of escorts on the frontier, 3 years; and 
has acted as habilitado* of the presidio of Monterey. 

" Campaigns and Warlike Actions in Which He has Engaged. 

"In the expedition to San Diego and Monterey he had 
the commission of explorer of roads which the expedi- 
tion had to follow. In the execution of this duty he was 
frequently threatened and surrounded by large bodies of 
Gentile Indians, whom he always forced to retire. Dur- 
ing his command in San Diego he prevented various up- 
risings of Indians, arresting the chiefs and reducing 
them to peaceful condition. He founded the missions of 
San Juan Capistrano, San Buenaventura, and the pre- 
sidio of Santa Barbara. He has exercised, and exercises 
with honesty, the functions of habilitado.

the following lists will testify. His descendants are very 
numerous, and I can undertake to give only a portion of 
them. I have only a partial transcript of the Santa 
Barbara mission registers, and none at all of the other 
missions of that district, where so many of them were 
born, married, and died. 

I have taken the names of most of the descendants of 
the fourth generation from a Santa Barbara padron of 
1834, and I have, therefore, no list of children born after 
that date : — 

1. Jose Francisco de Ortega was born in 1734, in 
the city of Zelayo, in what is now the state of Guana- 
juato, Mexico. His wife was Maria Antonia Victoria Ca- 
rrillo. She was born in Loreto in, 1741, and was buried 
in Santa Barbara, May 8, 1803. 

Children: — -

He enlisted in the San Diego presidial company, 
March 29, 1792. In 1803 he was granted the San 
Isidro rancho, eleven square leagues, in what is now 
Santa Clara County. The supreme court has re- 
cently confirmed this grant to his descendants.

SCENDANTS.

[Continued from California Register, No. 1, p. 15.] 

It is not improbable that Thomas and John Pope were 
among the passengers of the Mary and John (May 30, 
1630). John was a freeman of Dorchester, September 3, 
1634, and in his will (1646) he mentions a brother 
Thomas, who is supposed, with some reason, to be 
Thomas of Plymouth.
